Lewis Hamilton is confident McLaren can cut Red Bull's early season dominance,
starting at the Turkish Grand Prix.

The former world champion, who is yet to win a race this season, believes his car will be more suited to conditions in Istanbul and believes he is on track to end his winless drought this weekend.

"The car wasn't particularly well suited to a tight and bumpy track like Monaco (where Mark Webber led home a Red Bull one-two), but at a place like Istanbul Park it will be back in its element," said Hamilton.

"It loves smooth, fast circuits where the aero can really work over the car through the long, fast corners. It should feel fantastic to drive.

"So looking at the characteristics of the track, it's a place where we should be able to pick up from where we left off in Spain.

"We're not under any illusions, but we think we'll be able to get another decent result and we're hopeful of taking the fight to the cars at the front.
